Abstract

In this study the nature of forces reacted within the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was investigated. A model has been built which is a precise representation of the TMJ embodied in a physically exact model cranium. The whole is mounted on a Rear Impact Dummy (RID) Ill cervical spine. Sled tests were performed. Results show high angular velocities and accelerations of the mandible for low velocity rear-end impacts. (A)
